Ponderings by Picasso

Sometimes it's just too easy to get my way.

The human mom in my household somehow figured it out that I have taken a liking to deli lunch meat.

Not just any lunch meat, but thinly sliced maple ham (or Virginia ham, if maple is not available).

Gosh, if I could only be a fly on the wall when she goes to the deli counter at Giant Eagle and tells the clerk, "I need just a little bit of ham for my cat."

Not only does she shop for it, but when I stand by the refrigerator and stare, she figures it out that I want the lunch meat.

She neatly cuts it up into small pieces, and then places it on a napkin on the kitchen floor.
